NBA Breaking News: LeBron James to Miss Two Weeks for Cleveland Cavaliers Because of Injury
Cleveland Cavaliers small forward LeBron James will most likely miss the next two weeks because of injuries to his knee and back.
James has missed the last two games because of knee soreness.
The timing couldn't be worse because the Cavaliers are fighting with the Chicago Bulls for the Central division. The Cavaliers are currently 18-14 overall in second place in the division behind the Bulls who are 22-10. To make matters worse, the Cavaliers have lost their last three consecutive games.
A lot of NBA trade rumors have been swirling around the league lately that the Cavaliers could make a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. A potential trade could include Jordan Hill or Robert Sacre. Not only is Brazilian big man Anderson Varejao out for the season with an Achilles injury, but Kevin Love is battling back spasms.
Many NBA experts don't believe James and head coach David Blatt aren't on the same page. With Love hurting and James out for two weeks, point guard Kyrie Irving will have a lot of responsibility.
The Cavaliers are currently ranked fifth place in the Eastern Conference just ahead of the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks.
James has played great when on the floor this season averaging 25.2 points per game and a team-leading 7.6 assists per game.
The Cavaliers next five games are against the Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers, Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors.
